ASP or Armi San Paolo is a very well made product...google S&S for a Website and download the .pdf catalogue.

And I will also say that the ASM or Armi San Marcos is a very good product also...

If you want to sell that ASP 1860 let me know and you can get a Pietta or Uberti of your choice.
Thanks in advance...PM me.

Armi San Paolo changed it's name to Euroarms Italia in 2002 and is currently imported as Euroarms America. Their products are distributed by Cabelas, Dixie, and Navy Arms. Quality is on par with Pietta and Uberti. Their primary production now days is muzzleloading rifles; but they still make a repo of the Rogers and Spencer and '58 Remington.

An older 1860 by them should serve you well. You'd probably have to contact S&S Firearms (I had completely forgotten about them) or Euroarms of America for parts availability

Last month there was an unfired Euroarms stainless 1860 on Gunbroker that sold for $275.
I wasn't sure if it was stainless or polished steel, and the header also said it was a CVA.
It sure is a beautiful looking revolver.
Think it could really be stainless and a CVA?

CVA's 1860 Army had a color case hardened frame; there's no record of them selling a stainless steel version. Euroarms Italia, on the other hand, made the 1860 Army in both brass and blued steel frame but no color case hardened or stainless steel frame. That suggests that the gun is really a Euroarms manufactured steel frame that has been deblued, polished and probably 'defarbed'.

My references indicate the same thing. When bprevolver publishes his book on repos we may have further information.

Dont know if CVA imported the stainless version but ASP/Euroarms made 1860s in true stainless steel. I know because I owned one. Mine had a brass back-strap. There is a pic of this stainless ASP over at www.gripmaker.com with PU ivory grips.

I have a question concerning older Armi San Paolo/Euroarms cap and ball revolvers. Did Armi San Paolo or Euroarms ever make the Colt model 1860 Army pistol in stainless steel to sell either under their own name or for Connecticut Valley Arms (CVA) ??

Howdy everyone.
I see that there are some pretty knowledgeable people here on Armi San Poalo aka Euroarms. I would like to sell my 1873 44/40 replica Winchester carbine but do not have a clue what I should ask. I bought it back in 1990 for about 650. It has only been fired once and appears in Mint condition. I have sent a email to Euroarms but am currently waiting for a response. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Walther22lr - some excellent sources for parts and some great information already given. I had several ASP products in past years - they functioned fine and never had any issues with them and the ones I had, were well made.

I don't know if Doc Hoy will chime in on this but he's worked on a lot of different brands - his mechanical genius astounds us all!

I'm thinking he may be a good one as he might know what internals will work or could be modified to work if you ever have problems or need to find parts and the suppliers given already don't have them.

It sounds like you have a good one - shoot it and enjoy it!
